Set at the end of Fang, as soon as Max is done reading the note. Disclaimer: I don't own Maximum Ride, or any of the characters, although I wish I owned Fang...Mwahahaha! ;)
Max POV:
As I read the last words of Fang's note, I began to comprehend the meaning of it. He had left me. For 20 damn years. Making one of my stupid snap-decisions, I stormed out of my room, crying angry and depressed tears. The rest of the flock saw me and a few different voices asked me what was wrong. I flung the letter at them and stormed out the door, jumping into the air and flying, the wind quickly drying my tears, and me quickly making new ones.
"Why did that stupid effing bastard leave me? WHY?" I shouted.
I didn't care who heard me. I didn't care about anything besides finding that idiot and ripping off his head. I knew that was drastic, but so was leaving me. I thought he loved me. How do you leave someone if you truly love them? I never could of left Fang, no matter the circumstances. It would of ripped me apart inside. But I guess Fang really was as emotionless as he appeared to be to the naked eye.
-3 hours later-
I didn't know how I couldn't of found Fang by now. I had been flying as fast as I could for 3 hours now. I had to rest, so despite myself I made an awkward, ungraceful landing onto the branch of the first large tree I could find. I fell asleep in it and didn't wake up until the next morning around nine. I cussed myself for sleeping so long and quickly jumped out of the tree, only to realize I needed food. I walked into the nearest town and found a small diner, and ordered enough food for a gang of truck drivers. The waitress looked at me oddly, and I rolled my eyes. What a stupid waitress thought of me couldn't of meant less to me. I devoured the food when she brought it out to me, threw some money on the table, and then I walked out of the place, taking flight as soon as I was out of sight. I flew for as long as I could, images of Fang flashing through my mind, each one just making me more and more pissed off at him. Knowing no one would hear me, I began screaming uncontrollably.
"DAMMIT FANG! YOUR GONNA WISH YOU HAD NEVER LEFT ME WHEN I FIND YOU!"
Fang POV:
I had been flying since seven this morning, and it was now one PM. I had thought of nothing but my beautiful Maximum since I had left. I knew I shouldn't of left her. It was a decision that had been made when I was feeling depressed and stupid, and thought that if I stuck around, my Max would die, and so would our flock of bird children. I wouldn't of been able to stand it if that had happened. But something inside me was telling me that I was doing the exact same thing to Max by leaving, and I didn't want that either. There was no good side to my life as of now, because I would hurt the only girl I had ever truly loved either way.
I decided to land somewhere secluded and think of the way that would hurt her less. I found a small cave and landed inside of it. It reminded me of the cave I was supposed to meet Max at in 20 years...If I could wait that long... I sat down inside the cave and thought about both options.
If I don't go back, it will tear Max apart inside, and probably the rest of the flock, too. And if I stay gone, it will give Dylan satisfaction.
If I go back, Max will be happy, she'll probably rip my head off, but she'll be happy... The flock will be happy... I'll be happy... Dylan will be mad. Ha. I'd love Dylan to be mad. That's what he gets for trying to steal my soulmate.
I made a stupid snap-decision, much like the ones Max usually makes, and started to fly back to the only family I had ever known.
A/N: Yeah, I know, it sucks. A lot. But I'm hoping it'll get better. My first fanfic, and truthfully I don't care if your nice or not haha. Sorry about Fnick being OOC. :P Sorry for the shortness! If I get a review, I will write more! Or maybe even if I don't get one...
*Update 10.13.10: I edited this chapter a little, but not the words. Just the format. Reading this now, I really hate it. Thanks everyone who actually read it, haha. (: And, by the way, I'll be editing all the formats on this story, and maybe my others if their wrong.*
